Synopsis
"Volk’s second book, is a beguiling intellectual conundrum of a thing. An exploration through photography, of Hippocrates’ theory of humoral medicine. Printed without a word of explanation, save the title itself, this is most assuredly a book that requires a little time and investigation. However once that commitment has been made,Mélaina Cholé is definitely a book that worms its way into your brain." - Photobookstore Magazine, Best books of 2020 Mélaina Cholé, from Ancient Greek μέλας (melas), and χολή (kholé), is a photographic exploration of humoral theory conceived by Hippocrates. This theory explained physical and psychological health in terms the proper balance of four humors: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Volk, in particular, focuses on black bile, described as a cold and dry fluid, generated by the archetype of the earth. Within the book, we find images of the planet earth seen from space, of human body cells, and of people's faces following the theory of physiognomy of the time. Humoral theory provided psychology with its earliest personality typology, and Hippocrates’ ideas prevailed well into the 17th century. Extensive traces of this hegemony survive in modern language: the heart was indicated as the seat of feelings and in particular of love which, poetically, is "breath of life"; Melancholia is a feeling of sadness but also a serious form of depression. The same depression that, according to recent studies, will be the most widespread disease in the world in 2030.

hardcover. Etat : New. Fotografie a colori e in bianco e nero di Cristiano Volk. Fotografie ritrovate di autori vari Design by Federico Barbon. 8vo (cm 21,5x15). pp. 64 + 2 poster. . Nuovo (New). . Prima edizione di 500 es. (I edition of 500 copies). . Mélaina Cholé, dal greco antico ????? (melas) e ???? (kholé), è un'esplorazione fotografica della teoria umorale concepita da Ippocrate. Questa teoria ha spiegato la salute o la malattia fisica e psicologica in termini di stato di equilibrio o squilibrio di vari fluidi corporei. Secondo Ippocrate (V secolo a.C.), la salute era il risultato del giusto equilibrio di quattro umori: sangue, bile nera, bile gialla e catarro. Volk, in particolare, si concentra sulla bile nera, descritta come un fluido freddo e secco, generato dall'archetipo della terra.All'interno del libro troviamo immagini del pianeta terra viste dallo spazio, delle cellule del corpo umano e dei volti delle persone seguendo la teoria della fisionomia del tempo. La teoria umorale ha fornito alla psicologia la sua prima tipologia di personalità e le idee di Ippocrate hanno prevalso nel 17^ secolo. Tracce estese di questa egemonia sopravvivono nel linguaggio moderno: il cuore era indicato come sede di sentimenti e in particolare dell'amore che, poeticamente, è "respiro della vita". La melanconia è una sensazione di tristezza ma anche una grave forma di depressione.La stessa depressione che, secondo recenti studi, sarà la malattia più diffusa al mondo nel 2030. Prima edizione di 500 es. (I edition of 500 copies). Book. N° de réf. du vendeur bc_222182
